So Thanks to Nathan and everyone at MA. After a crappy day at work (my laptop crashed taking 3 years of data, research, and curriculum with it) I was kind of grumbly. However, after surfing MINI porn and reading through the posts (with a glass of wine) I feel much better about the world. So I just want to say thanks for making my life that much more fun! (and I'm glad that M3 mutant blew up). cheers! rae - and yeah, I know it should have been backed up, but that's against policy. Next time f- the policy.:mad2:
Gotta tell you Rae..... One of the things about your posts is your great sig. Can't get enough of Huntley. But here's the thing..... MOAR PIC's OF HUNTLEY ARE NEEDED..... Please create a Huntley album. Great MINI Ahhhh.... his brother and sister are nice too.
I for one want to hear more about this non-backing up policy. Being in IT I am always curios about the justification for something like that.
Glad to be of stress relief help... But yeah, no backups? Have been bitten once I learned the hard way to backup, I even backup the backups.
Yeah. Holy poop! Sorry to hear about that. I'm with you on the M3-Cooper, BTW. When I was doing any sort of research or project work in grad school I had that stuff saved on the school server, my home computer, my laptop, and (if it was small enough) my USB thumb drive just so I always had a copy of whatever laying around.
So sorry to hear about your data loss. I am sure we can all relate because it has happened to us at least once but hopefully not in such as big way. I am glad the Mini community could make your day a little better.
Don't worry MM - a whole pile of Huntley pics are coming. MINIThunder is in a few weeks - and I'm having a custom trailer built to haul both MINIs to the track And as for backup policy - well, the rules are made to be broken :aureola:
SOOOO, the devil challenges Jesus to a computing battle one day. Jesus calmly accepts. They make spreadsheets. They make Word documents. They make Powerpoint presentations. Compute compute compute all day long. Just before the scheduled finish, the power flickers and the computers go off. The devil screams "NOOOOOO!" He glares at Jesus, who leans back and smiles. "What are YOU smiling at?! Your computer went off too!" growls the devil. Wait for it... "Jesus saves."
